The company has installed more than 40 electric vehicle charging stations from Tumbes to Puno. In this way, it contributes to the decarbonization of the energy and transportation sectors.
Enel X Peru commitment to the electric mobility to improve productivity, reduce health costs and protect the environment. Thus, it has installed the first network of electric charging stations in the country, with more than 40 electric stations nationwide, which are located in 23 Peruvian cities: Puno, Ayaviri, Sicuani, Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Limatambo, Abancay, Andahuaylas, Ayacucho, Ner Cosme, Huancayo, Tarma, Cerro de Pasco, Pisco, Lima, Barranca, Casma, Chimbote, Trujillo, Pacasmayo, Chiclayo, Piura and Puntal Sal.
The chargers located at these points are an example of the home solutions offered by the company and are intended to demonstrate their functionality, in addition to laying the groundwork for the transformation of transportation in Peru. The installed electric stations have the capacity to charge an electric vehicle to 100% in approximately seven hours.
“With a full charge, electric vehicles can ensure up to 300 km of autonomy. In addition to being ecosystem-friendly, as they are reduce CO2 emissions and noise pollution, these vehicles represent a significant savings of up to 70% for their owners, compared to a car that uses diesel,” said Alejandro Barragan, Manager of Enel X Peru.
Enel X has various types of chargers for electric vehicles, including those for home use, such as those already installed in these cities, and others of greater capacity for public use, for which the company is already coordinating with municipalities in the capital for their early implementation.
Electric charging stations are an important infrastructure for the development of electric mobility, and with the recent publication of Supreme Decree No. 022-2020 of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM), the opportunity for their consolidation opens up. The norm establishes the provisions to implement the future charging and energy supply infrastructure for electric mobility, which has the ultimate goal of promoting the change of energy matrix in the automotive sector towards a more environmentally friendly energy source.
